The Fountain Valley School District trustees will hold a special meeting Tuesday to hear public comments on the recommendation to close Fred Moiola Elementary School in June.

The hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Fountain Valley School District boardroom, 10055 Slater Ave.

The district’s School Boundaries and Closure Committee, formed this year to investigate ways to save money, released a report in August that ranked Moiola first on its list of possible school closures. The district expects to save about $400,000 a year if the closure is approved.

Lisa Allen, whose 8-year-old son attends Moiola, said she was disappointed in the way the district handled the announcement of the public hearing, saying the notice was insufficient and should have been sent out districtwide.

Allen, whose son has special needs, said she moved to her neighborhood three years ago so he could attend Moiola.

“I don’t think they have the best interests of the parents or students in mind,” she said.

District officials were not available for comment.

Allen added that school-boundary changes have not been determined but should have been before the public hearing.

In an interview in August, Assistant Superintendent Stephen McMahon said that the committee took an unbiased approached when coming up with criteria for recommending school closure, and that a board decision could be made as early as November or as late as January. The closure would go into effect June 2012.
